Well summer is almost here and with it comes the outdoor concerts at Fort Flagler. Concerts are the source for a large part of FOFF annual income as well as what has proven in the past to be a popular event for locals and park visitors as well. Preparations are well under way to install commercial power to Battery Bankhead, new chairs have been purchased, and a new sound system is on order promised to arrive "just in time".
This year along with the normal hustle and bustle and last minute preparations, we are faced with a severs personnel shortage. The couple who helped prepare news articles and event fliers are off on a four year "life adventure" exploring all there is to see in our great country. The couple who collected donations at the gate were presented with some health issues and were forced to move back to their home in Florida. Our Concert Committee is down four very productive people. We are beginning to wilt and the season is barely underway. HELP!
If you have any experience writing short newspaper articles, creating and producing event fliers, working a sound mixing board, or are willing to collect money from people who want to give it to you, we need your help.
Our first concert is June 27 featuring Hank Cramer, followed a week later on July 4 with Deadwood Revival. Detailed information about both events are available in an article further down this blog and in the sidebar to the right.
If you can help us out please contact Bob, bob490@waypoint.com and if you can't please come out and enjoy a concert with us anyway.
